Show HN: SimpleSearch – Just a list of search bars

I made this site for myself, SimpleSearch.info, as new default browser page. I’m not sure if it actually _saves_ time or clicks (though, for me, it saves at least one click per search), but I find the search experience more pleasant. On desktop, it’s nice to just have these search bars as the first thing that pops up in a new window or tab vs clicking bookmarks in the toolbar or elsewhere then searching. Similarly, on mobile, I like just clicking on one icon for all my searches. The vast majority of my web browsing begins with a search or LLM query.I’m curious if this is helpful to anyone else and if there are any additional features I might add to make it more useful. Thanks! Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42832891 Points: 10 # Comments: 13
